One of the most significant limitations in the realm of Far Cry 5’s multiplayer experience is the lack of cross-platform play between PC and PlayStation consoles. This division means that the community is segmented, and friends using different platforms cannot team up for the game’s co-op missions or multiplayer modes. Just last month, supposed story details for Far Cry 7 were leaked, describing a non-linear plot and a 24-hour time limit, and now further details for the multiplayer game, codenamed Maverick, have Multiplayer: Drop-in co-op with a friend, multiplayer maps for up to 12 players in Arcade mode Enemy outposts, as they were in earlier Far Cry games, are the best thing about Far Cry 5. Survey Some of the details can still change, as Ubisoft's first big multiplayer-focused Far Cry game is set to launch in mid-2025 if everything goes according to plan, and tweaks are expected to be made when the project enters alpha in the first half of 2024 and maybe launches before Far Cry 7. Though Far Cry 5 may have an expansive, and impressive single player mode (as we found out in our Far Cry 5 review), there's more to Far Cry than just a single player story. In fact, the game has an entire multiplayer mode you can get stuck into too, named "Arcade Mode". Believe it or not, such an idea for a game could have been floating around for a long time, too. A survey in 2015 asked players to select their preferred locations for a possible Far Cry follow-up (thanks PCgamer), with the least ‘out there’ setting being “A Far Cry game in remote Alaska about surviving extreme wilderness”. It seems like Far Cry is pivoting towards the extraction genre with their multiplayer game, much like Call of Duty recently did with the DMZ, and Battlefield 2042 tried with Hazard Zone. The higher-ups are evidently beginning to see more potential with the Tarkov-like model, rather than trying to break into the already-crowded Battle Royale space. K3Lv.
